And out of the fog rose...A loserWhat a great weekend for training.
Friday was a solid shop ride with Selene, PJs, Taus, Matt A, and Acura Matt.
The tempo was high and relentless...Matt A and Acura Matt weren't feeling it, so they took a left.
We had some nice climbs and even had a paceline going for a bit but PJs shut that down. Something about not wanting to be in zone 4. Whatever.
We averaged over 19mph with some legit climbing in there.
Saturday was family day for me. Logged some time with the kids before they make their journey to the Buckeye State.
Sunday there was a Monkey Knife Fight.
The weather was cool and wet. It was raining upon our departure from SMC and for the first 1/2 of the ride.
13 dirt sections, 11 of them scored. All scoring sections were dirt/gravel/etc climbs.
Bowman was out on his cycle on this well mapped/marked course. About 15 souls started the journey. Regret set in immediately.
3 stops along the route: PJs place, convenience store, Rignoshs place. PJs wife laid out the spread: coffee, bagels, PBR, etc. Tasty.PJs and FitChick ruled the day. I was able to pip FitChick for one victory. I was unable to celebrate, however. I could barely speak. Those people can climb. All to cure cancer. PJs won and donated his winnings back to the cause. The classiest thing that douche has ever done in his life.

Thanks to Mark Bowman for organizing this thang.
Just counting the days at this point...Weather in Gent, Belgium will be 60s and sunny when we get there. Wonder how long that will last.
This is a pic of the nameplate that is put on a shower stall at the velodrome if you win Roubaix.
